Pros:

The Hotel is perfectly placed for a trip to York as you can walk into the City Centre easily.
The Hotel has parking, although it was payable at £18 for a day.
On the whole, the Hotel is very attractive but could be improved.

Cons:

Staff were polite & pleasant, although there was a lot of skirt pulling by a couple of the young girls, whose skirts were way too short - hence the continual pulling down.
There were a lot of very young staff working & to be honest, few more Senior looking staff to have things under control.
Our room was very small & no air conditioning!!! Temp outside was 36°+ & not much cooler during the night. In addition no complimentary water either.
There was a nice outside eating & drinking area, but they stopped serving drinks outside by 9pm & so you had to order at & walk through Reception, out the front door of the Hotel, to the garden to drink.
This could do with being looked into as the current Summer looks like being a scorcher & they would benefit financially with a few simple changes.
Also, no one asked if drinks were to be charged to the room, so we paid on a drink by drink basis.
The Hotel was also scan the QR code on the table for ordering?? Not usual for a Hotel garden?
It was my husbands Birthday, which they knew, & there was no mention of it. Not a Welcome Card or Happy Birthday.Card, let along a glass of wine!
I think the Hotel could do with an injection of cash & someone to look at it from a Customer perspective as this could be a gold mine of a from a Business point of view & a much nicer place to stay with a few tweaks made

Always have nice stay lovely staff always welcoming
Pros:

Stayed at Churchill many times rooms clean tidy also has nice bar little expensive but overall worth a stay

Cons:

Don’t agree with £18 car park fee seems to go up every time way stay spaces are very tight not sure what this charge is for no security and signs state park at your own risk £10 would more than enough to pay ..

Very pleasant thank you
Pros:

Very well located. Room spotless

Cons:

Friday and Saturday evening at the bar were rather chaotic. May be new staff. Don’t order your drinks at the table as the wait is too long. Go to the bar yourself

Average to be honest.Ian was welcoming and accommodating but other staff appeared disengaged and just going through the
Cons:

No air conditioning in our room only a fan that just circulated the warm air around.When paying what we did would expect air conditioning and this would prevent us staying again.
